Blessed to be Americans
We must support our law enforcement officers, and elected officials, and challenge them, through the appropriate channels, when they are wrong.
We must believe that all lives count; this applies regardless of race, religion, clothing and skin color. All men count, all women count, all children count, all babies count, born and unborn.
We as rational Americans must unify and adhere to these beliefs. Treat others as you want to be treated. Hug each other. Smile at each other. And remember we are all blessed to be Americans.
